I have Keystone 65 Preferred which will cost $248 in 2013
I can get Keystone 65 Select for $56
I know it has some higher co-pays
But what else are they hiding for such a big difference in price ????????

I'm not familiar with those plans. Please provide your zip code, and I will research them.

thanks,

Looks like I found it. They are Blue Cros Blue Shield HMO Medicare Advantage plans available in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery County with Philadelphia and Bucks county residence receiving a lower rate. The Keystone 65 Select Rx HMO with Choice Program is $56.50 monthly while the Keystone 65 Preferred Rx HMO is $248.50 monthly. Let me know if these are not the plans you are talking about. I'm including a link to the Summary of Benefits and I am going to write a review of these plans on my blog later today. Let me know if you have any other questions. I will post a link to the review once I am done.

thanks,

matt

Here is my comprehensive review on the Keystone 65 plans offered by Independence Blue Cross.

Matt we live in Montgomery County.
My zip code is 18969
Let me know where your blog is.
We are retired & could use the savings,but afraid there has to be a bigger reason than just some higher Co-Pays to save almost $200 a month.
Thanks in advance for your help.
